(Consider this a "staking out an exaggerated version of my stance for the sake of argument" post.) Perhaps that's how they're mostly, but not exclusively used now. But how is, for instance, the at-will rogue utility (forget the name) that eliminates the stealth penalty for moving more than 2...

1. Remove feats, add utility power/feature slots at 1s, 4s, and 8s, that you can fill from class-based, race-based, and theme-based lists. 2. I like the "reorganize classes" idea; doesn't really change the game, just organizes it better (give more support to artificers, runepriests, and seekers...

I would love to see all race-specific feats changed into racial powers... and all class specific feats changed into powers. Heck, just get rid of feats and add utility power/feature slots at the 4s and 8s. Edit: and also at the 1s!

I thought Totems had to be carried in-hand.

I believe there are some creatures that have resistance to "weapon damage", and I know that there is an item that gives it (belt of iron skin? Can't recall ATM).

Aww man, now I feel bad. :( It was a fair question. I'm sure everyone just didn't read ahead to see that other people had already issued the beat-down. My advice though is, next time, if you're asking a non-rules question, make that clear up-front. Your question sure *looked* like it was about...

No. Arguing "realism" is a fool's errand. I'll help with rules, but the rules are EXPLICITLY a rough ABSTRACTION of "reality" (where "reality" is "reality plus dragons and magic and stuff") in order to make a fun and relatively simple game; if you don't like how the abstraction is abstracting...

Is Bob a fighter (edit: or knight or cavalier?)? Because it sounds like you're confusing opportunity attacks with a fighter's combat challenge. Only two things provoke opportunity attacks: trying to leave a threatened square, and making a ranged or area attack while in a threatened square...

It doesn't have to be too complicated. Really, it only needs to be done for poison; illusion and charm powers that do damage always (?) do psychic damage. Maybe the "toxin damage" idea is better. Actually, considering the already-close tie between them, and the real-world source for necrotic...

Effects should have had types, just like damage has. So like, "You take 5 thunder damage and are weakened (save ends)," thunder immunity protects you from the damage but not the push, as now, but: "You take 5 thunder damage and are weakened (thunder, save ends)," then thunder immunity would...

Al. Bo. Leth.

Sounds like you rolled up Ayn Rand, but with tentacles. Ewwwwww.

"Initial post-racial primary ability score" is cumbersome, yes. How about: "Heavy Blade Expertise You have overcome your lack of innate ability through diligent practice. When wielding a heavy blade, if the attack bonus from your attribute is less than 4, you gain a +1 feat bonus to hit...

Maybe don't ban them, but remove the attack bonus: the other bonuses from the new expertise feats are pretty cool in their own right, and often quite worth a feat. (Ditto with the +defense feats. Or at least remove the scaling aspect of the bonuses; a flat +1 may not be so bad. And for people...

Water weighs about 8 1/3 pounds per gallon.

If it required an attack vs. will, it'd be Decree of Khirad; a level one Warlock daily. You should expect level 17 encounter powers to be better than level 1 dailies. (Examples left as an exercise to the reader; conditions may vary; offer not available on Sleep.)

That's... actually pretty reasonable. (Although I might word it "you fall at the end of your next action." Immediate/unless just seems kinda murky and open to interpretation.) Would you then be allowed to use any power while jumping, or do you intend to only allow ones that involve movement...

Ah, the "which ridiculous corner-case situation is MORE ridiculous" phase of the argument. Hello; I'd been expecting you! Hey man, if you wanna re-write the rules for jumping, movement, and charging, to fix the "bottomless pit at PRECISELY half the distance between my and my target" "problem"...

Almost. You could take a free action. Feather Fall is a free action, right?

You joke, but that was my last session (except it was 6 small boulders, one of which the caster moved.) Good for a change of pace, but not something for every session; which I think mean "3 round spell of doom" needs a frequency EVEN SLOWER than "daily" in order to keep it from getting annoying.
